UK equities are trading in the positive territory on Wednesday after the latest report showed that more BoE members support an increase in asset purchasing. However, market participants remained cautious ahead of FOMC minutes release due later in the day. The FTSE 100 Index added 0.40% to trade at 6,404.99. Seven out of ten industries rallied. The top-performers were technology and consumer goods industries, advancing 1.39% and 1.26%. Sage Group jumped 1.69%, while Reckitt Benckiser Group and British American Tobacco soared 2.94% and 1.92%. Restricting the upswing of the UK blue chips, basic materials slid 1.42%, with Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton slumping 2.28% and 1.71%. BHP Billiton declined after reporting a 58% drop in its half-year profits. The top-loser was RSA Insurance Group, declining 12.91% as the firm said it would reduce its dividend for this year amid a drop in profits.
